DIY Prom Dress from a Sheet | Pattern Available | Step By Step Tutorial

[@mamawlou]

My mom made my prom dress from her wedding dress, it was blue lace and she totally redone it for me, it was beautiful!

[@cheesecake2048]

That's so cool!

[@emilia_2241]

I think your‘re mum loves you a lot 🤍☺️

[@andreaperez4459]

I would love to see it. It's amazing to read that her wedding dress became your prom dress

[@lucycowie7245]

omg really that's so cool!

[@KenshouHarpuia]

dang that's so sweet of her!!! what a sign of pure and unconditional love...!! ♥

so...i can do my dresses with the things in my house like the film "enchanted"...😗

@@ghulaapamzaan4689 ME TOO LMAOOOO ESPECIALLY WITH THE PUFF SLEEVES

[@agoofygoober7649]

Absolutely! Also thrift shops always have sheets, pillow cases, and even full yards of really nice fabrics that you can use to make dresses

[@giadisbertini]

@@agoofygoober7649 good way to recycle ♻️

I'd say yes

She's going to be a big deal in fashion if she feels like it. The self-evident joy she gets from sewing and creativity is what it takes to do the hard work to be a success.

[@MlleCarocks]

I'm now thinking of all the bed sheets i could use to make pretty summer dresses.....

[@kossa8668]

@Palak Mulwani it would depend on your body, her measurements most likely wouldn't fit you. you have to measure yourself

[@greata80]

This is sooo beautiful! Those sleeves are my favorite part! (:

[@PaperStxrs]

Mine too! thank you so much!!!

[@CopenhagenDreaming]

@@PaperStxrs They're my least favourite part - but they do look great on you. And for a prom dress a bit of arm coverage might be appropriate in the US - and it WOULD have looked quite low-cut without the sleeves. The general style and the pattern of the fabric is lovely. It's a wonderful ballroom fantasy - and who wouldn't want that? I find it impressive how well you managed to fit that bodice.

[@SusanHixonEntrepreneur]

The puppy is my favorite part.

[@AnonymousGirl1.15]

@@PaperStxrs hi! Iove this dress and I'm gonna try to make it! And I was wondering what the sizing was because I really didn't understand that…. Which might be because I just have a very little brain but I don’t understand how to measure it. Sorry but I’m thanks and your super talented! ❤

[@girlnextdoor0703]

The pinning alone is expert level in my book. You've got skills.

[@izabelle9574]

Srslyy.. no matter how many times I see sewing videos.. for me cutting part is alone in expert level 😞😂

[@argo12]

She pins with absolute confidence. Those are experienced hands!

[@wyldelf2685]

She has great video edit skills too , for a second I thought it was a TV show episode that got uploaded to KZbin , , amazing edit skills , , ,bravo 👏 😋👍👍

[@Christopherhlee]

Gorg!!! There’s a little trick for the pockets. As you’re sewing down the side seam towards the top edge of the pocket, instead of cutting the thread and skipping the pocket and continuing down the side seam, make sure the needle is down and turn the fabric so that you sew around the pocket. When you finish around the pocket and get back to the side seam turn the fabric and continue sewing down the side seam. Hope that made sense. Happy sewing!

[@shea54]

Is it you christopher

[@grandy2875]

Was gonna say the same thing but you beat me to it... ;))

[@lisast.pierre9311]

Great tip - I was thinking the same thing ! That way it's one continuous seam instead of having to stop and start.

[@aprylhubler]

That’s what I would have done as well.

[@meiraloraduncan8953]

I was thinking the same thing.

[@jacquig1939]

The dog laying down while you're working is so realistic. My cats love "helping" me cut out pieces. This turned out so pretty.

[@J70a.m-zg6gi_wha0]

Honestly I thought it was a fake dog. 🙄Thank you for clarifying that for me.

[@antm64]

Many years ago, I worked in the Bed & Bath Department at a brand new store. I made 2 floor length Hawaiian dresses to wear during sheet sales. One of the Display Department men sewed a couple of long sleeve shirts from sheets. We looked great! I've sewn floor to ceiling drapes from king size sheets and ruffled curtains from twin size sheets. I've even made a tufted wall covering for my daughter's room from sheets. Sheets can be the perfect fabric for many projects! Thanks for posting this video!

[@charlottebrown270]

Awe A girl after my heart. When my daughter was in high school she wanted some checked shirts but at the store they were $45 apiece so I went and bought sheets that were the exact same type of fabric as the shirts were and they only cost me three dollars apiece to make and she looked great in them and you could not tell the difference between the shirts I made and the shirts that were in the store

[@lyr8364]

That's really beautiful. I am sure your daughter still appreciates your effort to go above and beyond. :)

[@diannenaworensky6698]

You go GIRL !!! $45.00 is ridiculous. I don't buy anything retail except for my bras and underwear

[@traceysteel800]

Absolutely stunning. Made me grin. I bought sheets from the thrift store when I started sewing so that if I went wrong I wasn't wasting exspensive fabric. Turns out there is no need to buy exspensive fabric. I made a beautiful dress from laura Ashley curtains, and another from a duvet :) it's a perfect way to make sure your wardrobe is unique.

[@SiriusReality]

She brings a flood of memories back for me. I remember sewing my prom dress. No one knew it & I didn't tell. It wasn't "fashionable" to sew at the time. If you wore homemade clothes you were considered poor to po (pō). I grew up quite po. Now it's a fashion rage to sew as it's considered a lost art. This young lady is incredibly talented and appreciate discovering her on U-tube. Glad she has a wonderful support system(her family)! Blessing Be 💫💫💫

[@B0mgyuu_]

✨ OMG, I love this girl. She is a sewing goddess. I am just getting decent at making clothes and I really look up to u girl. U r awesome and keep up the amazing work :) ✨ ✨can’t believe this is a bed sheet 😱✨

[@kramkavalkad]

Thank you for this tutorial! The dress looks amazing! Could you maybe explain where the measurements come from? Like when you show all the pieces and their measurements, it would be really helpful if you could explain or show how you came up with those measurements, it would make it so much easier to recreate the pattern. Thank you!

[@naissalty9266]

i’m gonna attempt and use a short skirt version of this for my graduation dress! i love the puffy sleeves and the neckline so much!

[@seasmacfarlane6418]

Hi Ally, Im a little late at seeing this video. You are a very talented young lady. I am 62 and I wondered if young people were sewing their own clothes. I even stopped at a Girl Scout table and asked them if they even taught sewing any more. It is very refreshing to see your BEAUTIFUL creations and to read the comments of all the people that had made this dress. Good Luck to you. You have a very "bright" future in fashion IF YOU WANT ONE !!! GOOD LUCK !!!!

[@betty13231]

So talented girl, thank you so much for your tutorial, I done dressed my daughter with curtains fabric that my sister give it away, I cannot afford fabric, now I’m a Fashion Designer and I found this video, you are Amazing and keep going young lady. God bless you

[@rxmakeupqueen]

Never stop sewing..Never! I am 52years old..while i sew doll clothes I am trying my first big project ever for my self and you m'am make my attempts look small. Keep going and never stop. i am turning a pair of jeans into a long flowy skirt and I am nervous about it because I don't want to mess it up. so I am getting ideas from everywhere before I start. I have pretty much narrowed it down to the look I want..so wish me luck.

[@josie306]

Hi Ally! I just made this dress!! It's so beautiful and turned out much better then I had expected...😂 Thank you for making this video, you are so talented! I can't wait to follow along with more of your wonderful sewing tutorials!😍 P.S. To all the people who have been thinking about making this dress, I would totally encourage you to do it!💛

[@SkettiCake]

How did you fit the skirt on the bedsheet? I’m trying to make it for my prom dress and the pattern piece is too big 😭😭

[@josie306]

I ran into the same problem! I ended up just making the dress shorter. But if you want it long maybe you could add 2 or 3 more ruffles to the bottom of the dress if that makes any sense 😂

[@chelseastar12]

Aight, I just started making dresses using my mom's sewing machine. *I'll make sure to get to this level and make a beautiful gown like this!* Since I can already feel that I'll have another quarantine birthday 🙄 (Philippines 🤦) I shall make a dress like this for my birthday! Hihi Thank you for this!

[@kathybyers398]

You did an outstanding job in design, construction, modeling, and, most importantly, demonstration. I love using vintage or 'found' materials to make something completely different.

[@Sabby8139]

This even as just a top would be so dreamy!!!

[@SewEasyPlease]

WOW, that dress is beautiful! No one would have known it was a bed sheet unless they watched your video

[@deborahkelly1489]

I made a 3 piece suit from some beautiful sheets. My colleagues were actually shocked when I told them the suit was made from bed sheets and even more shocked when they learned I sew. That was years ago, I just do quilts now. Great video keep up the good work !!!

[@amandavandewalle3514]

Tip for doing a lot of pleats: for some reason, I can't always get my pleats to lay right as they go under the foot, so after much trial and error, I learned to do a wide loose stitch to hold them all in place while you sew. It takes a few extra minutes, but that's better than having to rip out stitches and redo multiple times like I did the first time.

[@sarah-janemorrisrinen3027]

The good ol' machine basting stitch

[@riahfromthecityofflowers9393]

Yes!!! Add basting your gathered fabric to whatever you're attaching it to as well because pinning makes the actual sewing process so much longer

[@J70a.m-zg6gi_wha0]

yes . . . its called a 'stay stitch' ...tailors and seamstresses have used them for *hundreds* of years in the tailoring industry. If you had asked an older person who knew, they would have taught you this, but, of course, everyone under 25 knows EVERYTHING and we KNOW NOTHING.

[@janbrittingham9648]

Sooo happy to see this! Im 65....started sewing my clothes, curtains, etc etc. at age 11...endless possibilities....fabric is fabric...doesnt need to come from the fabric store either!! Sewing skills def come in handy!...change the world your own way! Such a smart woman you are!!...
